Mildly tougher water restrictions in Cobb


(via WSB Radio)  Cobb County has put in place some restrictions aimed at getting their heaviest water users to cut back.  Folks that use over 30,000 gallons a month “could be hit with a 25 percent surcharge, if they don’t cut back”.  By comparison, most homes use less than 8,000 gallons a month.

They say these rules are in place primarily for commercial users such as landscapers and car washes.  Seems like it might just be a temporary stop, though, as I expect all of north Georgia to completely ban landscape watering and car washes within a few weeks, like Paulding county just did.
